A heavy, blocky sans with irregular, hand-cut contours and subtly uneven stroke edges. Letterforms are compact with tight internal counters, squared-off terminals, and occasional angled nicks that make the silhouette feel carved rather than drawn. The set maintains a consistent vertical stance and overall rhythm, while individual glyph widths and shapes vary enough to create a lively, slightly chaotic texture in text. Numerals and punctuation match the same chunky, cutout construction for a cohesive look.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and display typography where a bold, characterful tone is needed. It works especially well for Halloween or spooky-themed promotions, kids or cartoon-adjacent graphics, game titles, and packaging that benefits from a handmade, cut-paper aesthetic.
The font projects a mischievous, slightly eerie personality—more haunted funhouse than clean modern signage. Its roughened edges and quirky proportions add a handcrafted, DIY energy that reads as playful and theatrical rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic a cutout or carved display sans: sturdy, legible shapes enlivened by deliberate irregularities. The goal is to deliver immediate personality and mood in short bursts of text rather than a neutral, long-reading workhorse.
Texture is driven more by silhouette and edge irregularity than by internal detailing, so the face holds up best when the chunky shapes have room to breathe. The tight counters and uneven joins can visually fill in at smaller sizes, while larger settings emphasize the distinctive cutout character.
